Earth Day

     Hey guys! Happy late Earth Day! Today we are going to be talking about Earth Day. 

     Okay, so before we can really get into Earth Day, we need to know what it is. Earth Day is an annual celebration of our Earth. On Earth Day people from around the world do things like pick up trash, plant a tree, or make crafts with recycled materials.

     Now that we know what Earth Day is about, we can start diving into the history of Earth Day.  Earth Day first began on April 22nd 1970 when Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin was upset because nobody was responding to an important issue in our environment.  He held a festival for our Earth, which is now known as Earth Day. This year we are celebrating 50 years of  Earth Day. 

     Now you may be wondering what projects you can do as a kid to help our Earth. Some projects you can do are make a terrarium, you could make a recycled tin can planter, maybe you could plant a tree, or you could just simply recycle.

     I hope you enjoyed learning about Earth Day! If I make a terrarium I will be sure to share mine with you and tell you how it goes. Don’t forget to enter the writing contest (there may be a prize involved)! I will see you next time! Good bye!
